What Am IsTo DOT

The symptoms of Biliousness arc un-
happily but too we'll known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A Bilious man is seldom a
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas,
he has an excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids of a morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time; if it is not white and turred,
it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and Diarrbea or Constipation
may be a symptom or the two may
alternate. There are often Hemorr-
holds or even loss OF blood. There may
be giddiness and often headache and
acidity or fiatulence and tenderness in
the pit of the stomach. To correct all
this if not effect a cure try Green's
august FEower; it costs but trife and
thousands attest its efficacy.

DWELLINGS BURNED.

Mr.. J. A. Tdland, of Judson, suffered
the loss of his dwelling by fire on Thurs
day morning last at about $50 O'Clock.
With the exception of an organ and sew
ing machine, all of the contents of the
house were consumed. The house was
a large, two-story structure, built some
time in 1860, and was valued, including
the contents, at 81 400, on which there
was an insurance of only 800. Mr.. lid
land is one of the oldest settlers in the
county, he having settled in Judson in
1856. To be bereft of such an amount OF
property at his time of life is certainly
discouraging, but he is possessed Of lots
Of grit, and may be depended on to take
a fresh hold and try to recover that
which has been 80 ruthlessly torn from
him.
On Sunday last the house belonging to
J. NJ. Karmany, and occupied by Fred
Kieffe, near the slaughter house, in the
north part of the city, took fire and was
also consumed, together with the con
tents. The building cannot be replaced
for less than FIVE hundred dollars-it wal
insured for 500. Mr.. Kieffe's loss viii
amount to $3.50, on which there was nc
insurance.
Chas. Kawell, living about mile cas-
of the Catholic cemetery, lost his house
by fire Sunday morning. He succeeded
in saving his bedding, but all the cloth
ing belong TO the family was consumed
as so also was the furniture. His los
will amount to fully 500 and it is I
severe blow to him.

A STRONG ENDORSEMENT,

At the Board of Trade meeting Mon
day morning, the electric light franchise
asked for by F. L. Waters was discussed
and motion unanimously adopted to
the effect that it was the sense of the
Board that the proposition made by Mr..
Waters was very liberal,s and that the
franchise should be granted. Embodied
in the motion, the observation-disclosures
ed to appoint committee of five TO wait
upon the council and urge the granting
by that body of the franchise. In accor-
dance with the motion, president Noe
appointed Messrs. Jno. n. Hall, ]. L.
Washburn, F. G. Heinze, M. g. Willard
and M. o. Sundt as such committee. In
discussing the different features of the
franchise, it was suggested that the fol-
lowing clauses be inserted.
Thar Iperson interested In any other
light or gas company shall own or con-
troll any stock of this company.
That tirst-class plant be in operation
within one year from date of franchise.
That the city reserves the right to at
any time purchase OF said Waters or bis
assigns the entire plant and fixtures,
paying therefor only the cost OF same,
With these amendments it is believed
that any possible objections which any
alderman may have had to granting the
franchise, will be abridged, and that the
ordinance will be passed. That electric
| light is demanded by the citizens is self
evident TO any one who has taken tht
pains to interview our business men
By the introduction of this system of il
Elimination it does not follow that oul
gas company will suffer any great falling
of of business. In fact tits claimed by
some that it will increase the eonsump
ton of gas, from the fact that a create
number of private dwellings will use it..

home on Saturday last at the advanced
age of72 years. During a portion of the
winter he had, good Samaritan that he
was, watched over the sick bed of a
friend, and it is probable that oyer-ex-
